NFL owners unanimous, will opt out of labor deal

AFL is becoming more popular.

 

It will get worked out, both sides are making too much money to let it go too far. However, it's going to be long and ugly. Both sides are digging in.

I think the NFL would still sell more tickets than we'd expect with scab players. True, it wouldn't be the same quality. But it would still be the best available football. The best wouldn't be playing anywhere, and people still love football. True, it would sell significantly less tickets, or maybe they'd lower prices a little. But I don't think we'd have empty stadiums. Well, except Jacksonville...

 

Start it up, I agree that it would be a good poll. I'd be there at 50%.

 

some of the million of the billions generated need to be used for stadiums to display their product, instead of putting city's on the hook

 

I'd pay half to see the rookies coming in and scabs. Then 60% the next year as the next batch of rookies came in, then 70% the next etc. I'd love to see the owner's stick it to the players.

 

if they don't re-work the rookie contracts their a bunch of wussies
it's retarded to pay these kids all this money when most won't produce at the level of scale until near the ends of the original deals

i'm all for performance pay

 

wait a minute... do you guys mean half-price tickets? Like all the owners slashing prices by 50% to ensure sellouts and raising enough revenue to keep the profit high for them while giving a bunch of scabs "the chance of a lifetime" and paying out $20,000 salaries? Honestly, I can't imagine ticket prices being lowered, but if they were cut in half you can bet i'd pay. How long could it last? Guys have to get drafted, right?

 

I can see how people think the players are getting paid too much money, but look at how much money the owners make. Somebody needs to stick it to those rich white guys, who can't even dance, as well...

 

yeah. damn those fat cats. if it weren't for them there would be no jobs.
